Beaulieu Autojumble Sept 2023 with a hint of Bradgate Park.
You have some good tips here. Thanks.
Love the dress code.
Hi Amanda. The Goodwood Revival is a really fun day out. Fashion plays a huge role part, to the point where those not dressing up in vintage clothing are in the overwhelming minority.
Wow Andrew, it's absolutely massive. Like Oshkosh.
Lovely to see all those classic and valuable cars with mud proving this is what cars are fro DRIVING, not like those precious trailer queens.
I don’t know if I’ll ever make it. But it is on my bucket list.
Hi Sylvain. I hope you do make it. It's a really worthwhile experience. Perhaps combine it with a holiday to UK like Frank and Pauline last year.
Good diagnosis and fix!
I've never seen a car that old in such pristine condition.
Many thanks. The car was very well restored and previous to that spent it's entire life in the Gauteng province in South Africa. Gauteng is in central SA, at 1750m elevation and the air is extremely dry. Now if I can only get the DVLA to register it for UK road use :-(

Thanks for saving the original radiator tanks & brackets! That's what I would do regardless of the cost. Don't like mounting the trans coolers on the radiator, though.
Glad you like it. I agree, it looks like a proper, period-correct feature, rather than a modernised hotrod.
Sorry I don't mean to be rude. It's just that these parts are impossible to find. Please respond to me 🙏🏻.
Where are you located ? My name is Patrick.
Hi Patrick. I am in Leicestershire, UK. My email address is in my profile. I would love to see a photo of your Parisienne.
I'm in Canada where the our cars were made! I've been looking for that tail light chrome for 5years ! Can I buy that piece from you please please please!
Hi PL. Fellow Canadians always welcome to the channel. As my '58 is a keeper, I'm reluctant to forego any of the external spare trim for which I don't have duplicates. I don't have a duplicate set of spare rear tail light bezels. However, I see from a quick look online that these are still available as they are shared amongst the Bonneville, Chieftan, Catalina, Safari, Strato Chief, Star Chief and Super Chief. I hope you are able to secure one.
@@automotivegrace "Reluctance can be a variable state. Sometimes it is subject to influences like friendly persuasions or say financial motivators. Can you give this some thought? Very best , Patrick 😉 🇨🇦🤝🇬🇧
Hello! I have a 1958 Pontiac Parisienne. Love your car. Have you got a spare driver side tail light chrome bezel? Please?
Beautiful car and a well done restoration. However, I would not recommend rubbing your finger on a gritty, dusty painted surface. Billk
Hi William. Many thanks. I love it. I would not normally drag my finger over the dusty surface, but needed to to show the dust on camera. Going forward, I'll avoid doing that. Thanks for watching.
Does it also come with the optional, tow behind, breakdown backup, Pontiac Solstice?
Yes, indeed. All South Africans tick that box. It must be a cultural thing. It's said to reduce rearend damage in light dings. Maybe I need a 1950's racecar to tow around in matching colours?
@@automotivegrace perhaps a matching mini?
@@cheftush Excellent idea. It's already the right colour. Thanks Tush.
Nice Job. It’s a beauty. I can imagine the looks You will be getting once it’s registered for the road!
What a great show. I’ll have to attend one year!
You are most welcome to stay with us if you do.
Been waiting for this one😊
You are going to get a few looks driving that around , it’s a beauty. I’ve got something coming on the 12th of July…can’t wait 😉
Thanks Tush. It's rare to see see such a beast here in UK, especially in RHD. I'll keep an eye on your channel (@cheftush) for news on your new arrival.
Hello Andrew What an amazing amount of aviation history in close locality. Love aviation and must be an information overload actually bieng there.
Blue is beautiful. Enjoy the long awaited project. Geniet dit!!!
Baie Dankie Amanda.
Nice project. I will definitely be following. I say keep it Standard.
Thanks Sylvain. I'm leaning towards standard.
Lovely project, Andrew. It is indeed a solid, beginning.
Thanks Graeme. I'm excited to make a start.
Congratulations on your new project Andrew. “Blue” is a beauty! Be great to keep it original IMHO, such a good example.
Hi David. Blue is a beauty. Standard does seem to be the general consensus.
I love it! I think you need to keep it standard and not modified…same paint scheme/interior as well. Looking forward to following the progress…it will be hard to sell after all your hard work…we will see how that goes 😉
Glad you like it. I'm leaning towards all standard too.
I've been there before with my classic but I didn't make a video..
Hi Ron. Welcome to the channel. The MH Classic car Show is a great community event. I'll be attending again this year on 7th July with Daisy. Hope to see you there. Regards, Andrew.
@@automotivegrace Thanks.. I keep meaning to attend but I've only been once and I didn't make a video. There were some great cars there.
I was there and made a video on my channel.. I keep forgetting to put myself in the video 😂😂😂
Hello I'm viewing from New Zealand. My father had a Volkswagen Kombi camper van like yours in the 1960s. We were a large family of six children , so we needed a large vechile to transport us around. The Alfa Romeo Montreal was the highlight of the show for me there. Very rare car nowadays. Thanks from Carl.
Hi Carl. Thanks for sharing great memories from NZ. Six children in a camper. Your dad is a brave man. I'm always drawn to the Montreal. It shares rear taillights with my 1974 Bitter CD. Not sure I'm brave enough to ever own one. A stunning vehicle.
Loved your video... and the beautiful way in which you portray our special home.. Langebaan. Fond memories of your mum.
Thanks Amanda for everything.
Andrew, thanks for this video. Really interesting facts about the differences between the MG-B and the true MG-C then again, the difference between a genuine MG-C with front tortion beam suspension and those "C" wannabes with the six cylinder simply shoe horned in. Dad's old home is really lovely, and someone who appreciates the layout will be snaped up in no time.
Having someone find my videos interesting makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for watching and hope you are doing well.
Hello Andrew. Lovely footage and agree with you that the coup really does "tie together" the entire form of that MG-A.
It is a beautiful thing. Surprisingly rare and underappreciated. Thanks for your continued support of the channel.
I’m just amazed by the classic car culture in South Africa. So many interesting cars we don’t see here. Keep the videos coming.
Hi Sylvain. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
What a beautiful video on your recent visit.
Hello Andrew. Great footage and commentary. See you Tuesday.
Can you get in for free to just look at the classic cars parking at get Pictures of the Classic Cars at Goodwood Revival or do i have to get a ticket ?
Hi Alexander. Yes. It is my understanding that you can park in the Public car parks without presenting a ticket or pass. From there, walk across to the pre-66 and tax exempt car parks. Tickets are only checked when entering the "Over the road" area. The pre-66 and tax exempt car parks require a free parking pass obtained only when booking a ticket.
Great opening video, Andrew. Fantastic camera system 👏 and hesitate to inform you that the lovely colour, TR7..my motor wheelchair is termed "Grasshopper green" but will take the TR7. First time seeing a Solstice.
That TR7 was a stunning colour. Great show all round. Glad you enjoyed it.
A lifetime experience ✨️ the footage is spectacular.
Glad you enjoyed the video Graeme. It was even more spectacular than any video footage could possibly capture.
Well put together. 👏 The Gleaming Ferrari 365 GT4. But yes, a wide variety available.
Something for everyone.
Hello Andrew 👋 Great initiative 👏 and love this particular soundtrack. Dreamy...mind sharing the title? OK, oh my soul, a pretty Connie and a Vought Coarsair F4-U😮 You are correct, there is so much to see, it will take days. The space stuff is also attention grabbing.
Glad you enjoyed it. The music is The last ones by Jahzzar. Due to copyright requirements, I always include attribution for the music I use in the description of each video.
Really enjoyed this video, Andrew. 👌Aviation...& flying is a great passion of mine. All aircraft are fascinating from hang gliders, to sailplanes, WWII aircraft, to the amazing SR-71. How fantastic to see a TSR-2 in the flesh.😮...the Concord is indeed a beautiful machine. Can talk for hours.
Be sure to check out the Washington DC video. Some amazing machines to be seen.
@@automotivegrace will do.
Thats most certainly a well ordered garage, Andrew.
Hi Graeme. Ordered garage, ordered mind? Let's see if it makes the restoration orderly.
Hello Andrew and Ronnie. Graeme from SA. Enjoyed the museum. I found the Coventry Climax engine, very interesting. Known as the Feather weight. 77Kg, able to operate at almost full throttle from a cold start. Small V8's are awesome.
Hi Graeme. Glad to have you onboard. Amazing to think the Coventry Climax engine originated from a fire waterpump. See you soon.
Shame you weren't there on the Saturday or Sunday , I had my 1956 Plymouth there , in pretty much the same spot that 58 Pontiac was in!
Hi FireBirdC9. Thanks for watching my video. I'm very sorry to have missed your 56 Plymouth. They are beautiful cars. If everything goes according to plan, I hope to be there on Sat or Sun this year in my newly imported, factory RHD, 1958 Pontiac Strato Chief. I'll keep an eye open for your Plymouth.
I’m literally doing the same thing at the moment…trying to get my garage set up and a little more organized for some spring thrashing…mines taken quite a bit of abuse through the last 4 restorations…now starting back on the 5th ( the 59 TR3A). The Canadian Tire Money was a good find..perhaps you should frame that 😉 I’m filming my garage organization as well just to have a before and after record of if…I’m sure it will take me a few weeks to complete it so it’s more of a longer term project. I’m looking forward to your project reveal! Cheers, Tush
Great hearing from you Tush. Good luck with your garage organising. I, sadly, cannot blame past restorations for the state of mine :-) It took me 3 weeks, on and off to do, but very satisfying now that it is done. Best wishes, Andrew
Beautiful! What time of the year?
It was indeed beautiful. We went in early Nov as part of a group adventure holiday. They had just experienced a "long" Winter. If I was to advise others, I may suggest going a little later than Nov in case there is another long Winter. Thanks for watching.
GMA T50 ❤
Agreed, they are awesome.
Well put together Thank you from Dublin
Tan hermoso mi Chile, gracias por mostrarlo ❤️🇨🇱⚘️👍
congrats on your trip to Argentina.. I was fortunate to be there earlier this month.. unforgettable. congrats on your video. Check out a few short videos we made about this beautiful place.
Many thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's a truly beautiful place. Stay tuned for Part 2: The W Trek in Chile.
Great to see channels featuring the GBCJ - it's our local meeting place so features quite heavily on our channel. Well done 👍
It looks like a great meeting venue for car clubs. Maybe I should pop by with Daisy (1964 VW Campervan).
